So maybe I am enjoying sharing my little world through words.  I thought of something else to say. Our family vacation this year is to California.  This is Rick’s pick of vacations, in honor of his high school graduation.  Maybe this is his last family vacation.  If he goes after this, he’ll need to chip […]

Now as I get older, my hair texture keeps changing.  My hair was somewhat wavy when I was younger, but it got really straight as a teenager.  Now that I’m getting past “that age,” my hair is getting wavy again.  On humid days, it’s downright curly.  It has gotten to the point where I let […]

Usually, I try not to work in the office on Fridays.  Fridays are usually a light day with few people in the office.  It’s a day made for remote access.  Not today.  There was a meeting that I felt I needed to put in face time on and all of my minions are out.  OK, I’ll saddle […]

Last entry for our trip home.  We got up this morning to the sun shining in the windows.  Every step takes us further from Memphis and the Blues.  So the drive from St. Louis area to McHenry was uneventful.  We ran into snow along the way, but nothing on the road. We made it home […]

It is a sad day.  We awoke in our share cropper’s cabin  to a sunny day.  However, this was the day that we are leaving Clarksdale and the Delta to return home to Illinois.  You should be able to hear the loud wailing and mourning at this point. We cleaned up the cabin, packed the car, […]
